General Plan

I am going to get a sugar crystal kit and I am going to make 3 of them one of them is going to be completely covered in light, another one is going to be halfway under light and the 3rd one is going to be not under any light.

Potential Problems And Solutions

Some potenial problems would be that sugar crystals will not grow, a solution to this would be to find a different way to grow them still using my question.

Safety Or Environmental Concerns

Some safety or environmental concerns would be that

Experimental Design

(add the correct headings from the experimental design page before beginning)

Resources and Budget Table

Item	Number needed	Where I will get this	Cost
Sugar Cyrstals Materials	1	At the store	$15.00
Lights/Lamp	3	At home	$0.00

Detailed Procedure

1. Get all the materials
2. Set up 3 test subjects

• 1 that is totally cover with light
• 1 that is half way covered
• 1 that has no light at all

3. Collect data every week until fully grown
4.
